What happens if I …

Here goes nothing…

March 29th, 2008

I’m about to update to WP 2.5

Updates have gone smoothly in the past, hopefully there will be little (if any) breakage.

Edit: all done – now I just need to find a new theme… (ans see about hacking it so gravatars appears on posts as well as comments…)

Stripping down

March 22nd, 2008

I’m parring things down on my blog for a bit. I’m returning to the default theme and removing/deactivating (most of) the plug-ins. I’m going to take a look at WP 2.5 soon, and I want to have a bare-bones(ish) site to install it to. Once the upgrade is complete, I’ll take a look at what my choices are like plug-in wise.

Happy π Day!

To the second. (Or near as I can get using WordPress)

Squiddo – On babies:

January 5th, 2008

“It’s a boy or a girl, we don’t know yet.”
(actually, we do know – this was said before we found out)

When giving good night hugs:
“Good night baby in Mommy’s tummy, I love you. I’ll see you in May.”

“When the baby is ready, Mommy will go to the doctor, and the baby will POP OUT of Mommy’s tummy!”

I suppose I should write something today

What with the milestone of turning 30 and all.

30? Really?

Honey’s Cranberry Sauce

November 20th, 2007

It’s that time of year again: “The Holidays”

In the spirit of giving and sharing, I would like to share my recipe for cranberry sauce. This sauce is easy to make, and is WAY better than that canned “Jellied Cranberry” stuff you see in stores.

It’s based on my grandmother’s recipe, but I’ve made a couple of minor adjustments in the last couple of years. Most cranberry sauce recipes you’ll find use water and sugar to sweeten the berries. My grandmother used apple juice in place of the water and sugar. What you end up with has a much more complex flavor, and is healthier, too.

Things My Three-Year-Old Has to Say

November 9th, 2007

The Squiddo is like any other toddler. Talkative, opinionated, and sometimes, too darn smart for his own good. The quotes below have all been heard coming from our little guy in recent weeks. It’s a good thing he’s so cute, or some of these would be infuriating.

Ok, guys. Just relax!

Daddy, can you carry me just like a baby?

My ‘jammas are all crazy!

I think… (long pause as he chews) I don’t like it.

I’m Buzz Lightyear! And you’re Batman. and Mommy is Spiderman

Daddy’s kind of grumpy.

Yeah, it *IS* a good idea

I WIN THIS TIME! Nice try Daddy, maybe next time.

How about a Family Hug?!

I’m a cooking guy! Just like Daddy!

But, by far, our recent favorites are:

I’m going to be a big brother!

There’s a baby in Mommy’s tummy!

November 3rd, 2007

LOLCATS amuse me. I find that many of them make me smile, but few actually make me laugh-out-loud.

This one did:
